“Nothing that feels bad is ever the last step.” Eugene Gendlin, Focusing
A free (pay-what-you-can) offering on experiential dreamwork and focusing. In this session, Leslie will discuss the transformational practice of re-entering a dream and allowing it to carry forward. You will learn:
- How to help your client safely enter and let a dream continue in a way that is safe, creative and authentic.
- Methods of active imagination that can be applied to engaging with dreams.
- Why dreaming the dream forward is an essential ingredient in modern nightmare treatment, and how to help nightmare sufferers transform their dream lives.
Focusing founder Eugene Gendlin said that dreams are always unfinished. There is great value in entering a dream and participating in the process of letting it play forward. This is especially true if we enter the dream with calm, curiosity and a sense of positive expectation. Especially for those with disturbing dream lives, this can be healing on many levels.
In this 90-minute session, Dr. Leslie Ellis will introduce some practical ways to cultivate a living relationship with dreams and nightmares. It is aimed at clinicians, but all are welcome. Bring your questions and your dreams – there will be a demonstration of this technique, and some experiential practices.
